LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Some of the prominent country’s Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on Friday took a swipe at religious leaders who petitioned Parliament in December 2016 against proposed law and policy reforms on safe abortion accusing them of double standards on the matter.

The CSOs including Malawi Human Rights Resource Center (MHRRC), NGO Gender Coordinating Network (NGO GCN), Human Rights Consultative Committee (HRCC), Center for Human Rights Rehabilitation (CHRR) among others vowed further to name and shame some religious leaders for their misdeeds in the public arguing that they are also promoters of unsafe abortion.
